Episode 258 of CWTFB Radio brings in Boston-based content creator Mike Deez for a conversation about his rise in digital media, recent controversies, and his plans for the future. Hosted by Charlie MaSheen with co-hosts Honey Kiss and Big Bells, the episode covers everything from viral internet moments to local culture and industry insights.
Building a Digital Brand
Mike Deez shares his journey from filming high school basketball games to becoming one of Boston’s most recognizable digital voices. His early work, which included editing basketball photos from Rich Johnson (earning him an eventual block), evolved into creating engaging social media content that highlights local events, community figures, and viral moments.
Navigating Online Controversy
One of the episode’s focal points is a recent incident where Mike Deez’s content was misused by another online personality, Leon, to frame a negative narrative about Black women. The backlash against Leon was swift, with Boston’s online community defending Mike Deez and pushing back against the misrepresentation. The hosts discuss the larger implications of how social media can distort messages and the importance of controlling one’s own narrative.
Expanding His Reach
The hosts encourage Mike Deez to take his platform to the next level by focusing on YouTube, emphasizing the potential for monetization and a broader audience. While he has built a strong local following, they suggest it’s time for him to expand his reach while staying true to his roots in Boston.
